Overlooking the Pacific

Ventana Inn And Spa, a Joie de Vivre Boutique Hotel, enjoys a dramatic and romantic Big Sur setting in the hills along State Highway 1, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Guests can hike from the resort along the North Coast Ridge Road, and drive to the white sands of nearby Carmel River State Beach.

Superior spa treatments

After a long drive up or down the coast, guests can book a reviving seaweed body wrap or hot stone massage in The Spa at Ventana. The earthy, healthy atmosphere extends to The Restaurant at Ventana, where friendly staff serve seasonal American cuisine and local wines in a cozy lodge-style setting.

Free WiFi and a terrace

Designed like a luxury cabin, each room opens onto a private terrace with a view of the ocean or the surrounding woods. Guests can stay in touch with the world via free WiFi, or forget about it completely while immersing themselves in a soaking tub, or getting snug between Egyptian cotton sheets.
